Batman Lego

Oh YES Boys & Girls, it’s time again for another World Famous BAT-BLOG CONTEST & this time we’re giving away a FREE Brand-New, Still Shrink-Wrapped, MINT Copy of LEGO BATMAN: THE VIDEO GAME for the XBOX 360!! This item was donated by a good citizen of the Bat-Blog named “BATFAN”. Because of his supreme generosity we’re able to give away a free copy of this extremely cool video game. Now, please keep in mind that we ONLY have the game in the “XBOX 360 format”. So, if you’re a “Playstation Person” then you’ll have to pass on this, sorry. But most people have both consoles so that’s cool. Plus, did I say FREE? I mean, we even pay the postage, ha ha! Whoops, I almost forgot to mention, this Video Game also has another game bundled with it ( it’s a double feature ) called PURE, which is an “off-road, quad-bike trick-racing” game. Now I guess for legal reasons, maybe, I gotta say that this contest is in NO WAY connected to Warner Bros, DC Comics, Disney, XBOX, or any Video Game Company. This is just a way for us to share some fun with our Loyal Bat-Blog Readers ( who ROCK, by the way! ) NOW, TO ENTER: All you have to do is send us an email with your full Name/Address & put “XBOX 360 LEGO BATMAN” in the title. The contest ends on February 11th, 2010 at 11:59pm, Central Time. Just after midnight we will randomly pick a winner out of a hat….while blind-folded & standing on one leg. It’s that easy to win & everybody gets a fair chance! The Winner will be announced right here on the very next day. One last thing, this contest is happening because of the extreme generosity of one special Bat-Blog Fan so I wanna thank him personally, “Thank You BATFAN, You’re The BEST!!”

The real main focus of the BAT-BLOG.COM is to share the fun and joy of collecting cool Batman stuff! We report on a lot of the mainstream products but we also like to feature unusual items that might go under the radar. Here’s some great examples. The 1st two pics were sent in by our Good Friend & Awesome Bat-Reporter, BATMOBILLY! He went on the Retail Store Hunt recently & came up with these unusual items.

First, here is a LEGO BATMAN Winter Hat & Glove Set for Kids. Hey, these are pretty awesome, I’d wear them! I totally love the graphics & the image of Batman & Robin climbing the wall totally make me wonder if it’s a homage to the 1966 TV Show, ha! It looks like that famous scene, doesn’t it?!

Next up is totally new line of Action Figures that Batmobilly found at Toys-R-Us. They are 4 Batman “STEALTH STRIKE” Toys! He said they were unknown to him & I gotta admit that I have not heard any news of them either, it’s like they just came outta no where!

OK, the last photo is a totally cool piece to try to add to your collection but getting it is going to be difficult. Why? It’s not a regular retail item but a special Store Display Standee for the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. This photo was sent in by our friend Jacob and, if I remember right, he said he got it at Wal-Mart. About the only way to get one of these is to go stalk Retail Stores that might have these & totally suck-up to the Store Manager, ha! I got some of these a few years back for the BATMAN LEGO Game from Blockbuster Video.

IGN just released the “Reveal Video” for the new LEGO BATMAN 2 DC SUPER HEROES Video game. Oh man, it looks pretty cool!! The first game was a total blast. The graphics were also very excellent. This new game should prove to be quite popular. We can’t wait!

Check out the pics of this amazing Batman Bat-Cave Diorama made entirely out of Lego Bricks by Wayne Hussey and
Carlyle Livingston.

Their
Batman Lego Bat-Cave was first displayed at Emerald
City ComiCon in late March of 2012. It
then made an appearance at Jet City
Comic Show and then BrickCon 2012.

Some statistics:

They spent 400 hours each, over three
months, building this. The project started in
Early January and finished in late
March.

Also, They estimate they used over 20,000 Lego Toy Brick Pieces ( but it’s
probably much much more, ha! ). It also weighs in at around 100 pounds. Be sure to click all the pics here for larger, more detailed, HD Photos.
